FINALLY G-O-N-E!

After receiving the infamous "no jobs available" for the upteen time today, it finally hit me. What an amazing way to get rid of MTs without really having to get rid of them on your own. Drive the MTs insane with no work, yet keep them locked to their computers in the hope that a job might become available. It feels kinda like playing the lottery....you know it's a waste of money and time, but just maybe you might win...ughh. Why is it that our "professional" jo ...

I must admit I've been reading this board for years, never posted until now, partly due to the probably unsubstantiated paranoia going around awhile back that those who posted here got the ax first, silly I suppose, but I used to care about keeping this job and didn't want to take any chances. Now, finally, I understand that I am fighting a losing battle, and I know longer give ******. I've been reading about you guys with NJA for days on end, etc., etc., and I guess I ...

I finally told MQ goodbye! I finally got another contract job and they needed me to start pretty much immediately, so I quit without notice. In a way I feel bad for resigning without a 2-week notice, but I figure MQ would not give me a 2-week notice if they were letting me go. I wish all my MQ co-workers well and I hope you find happiness either with MQ or elsewhere. God bless you all! ...

Never thought this day would get here, but I'm finally gone!! I feel such peace just to know that I won't have to stress anymore about everthing this industry has become: Horrible dictators, low pay, off-shoring, and VR. Bless everyone who is sticking it out until the very end. ...

Finally out. I start a new job in-house on December 10 in a medical office. Not MT, just answering some phones and setting up appointments. And I get to wear scrubs. I guess in the morning I'll be taking off one pair of pajamas and putting on another. Don't lose hope friends.... ...

I can't tell you how happy I am. I was literally dancing around the house. DS thought I was out of my mind, and I kind of was. I have been trying to get out from under this oppressive company for a long time now, and I finally have. I wish everyone a happy holiday. I'm happy to say I won't be posting here anymore. I've moved on and I'm not looking back. Best of luck to everyone who is in the same position I was this time yesterday. &nb ...

I finally went ahead and filed for partial U/E. I know I'm not in as bad of a situation as many I read on this board but I just can't live like this anymore. It's bad enough that our pay has been to sharply cut with VR but now when they don't give us any work to do it's worse. It humiliated me at my age to have to do this for the first time in my life at 59 years of age but I did it. ...

Friday is my last day transcribing at a company that is about to lay off 10-25 people! Unforunately that company lost its biggest account, but fortunately my last 6 months of hard word has paid off and starting a new career alltogether with the local county! I will continue to pray for you that you find work to be satisfied with and compensated accordingly. I have typed for 15 years and it is hard to say goodbye considering it brought me through many hard times raising my two o ...

I just wanted really to say for those of you still hanging on, worried about work in the outside world, I finally got out about 3 months ago and I haven't been this happy in YEARS and to be exact in the last 12 years that I was an MT. Working as an MT, I don't think I ever felt good enough, because I would be torn apart due to missing a comma or not being able to understand a term well enough to find it. I was so stressed about money all of the time and even dreaded holiday ...

After 25 years I am getting out of this biz for good!! I finally found other employment. May not be the best pay to start out with and some people would look it as an odd job for someone my age, but that is okay too! I can't wait to start!!!! ...

I have been (as some of you all have) trying to get out of this transcription "hell" for years! I finally, finally landed another job! It it outside of transcription. Its with Verizon! Finally! I know no job is heaven, but at least I'll get a raise every year.....................and not have to wonder in agony what is going to happen today......................what are they going to take away from me today............will I be able to pay my bills, will there b ...

I have been watching the boards for so many months. I was laid off almost a year ago and sent "oodles" upon "oodles" of resumes to every company I saw on this board, the other board, the job servers...You name it, I sent it. I even did Craig's list. Some were kind enough to respond, some did not bother. But I still plugged away. My unemployment ran out in July and thank God we have been making do. I answered an ad on Craig's list for something out of t ...

I am finally no longer a medical transcriptionist! No more stress!! No more crappy shifts, crappy dictators, crappy PMs!! No more accounts specs! No more anything! I read on here all the time how people say you can do it! you can get out of the field and find something else but I never believed it! Now I am! I accepted a job with an answering service making good money, benefits, PTO, 401 my own hours and I can do it from home! so ya it can be done people!! ...

After being laid off at an in house job when they went to point and click and spending 3 months looking outside MT for a job, I've landed a position as a medical records clerk. ...

I was notified today that I have been chosen for a job with the local hospital - not doing transcription. I finally get to say goodbye to no vacation, no sick pay, working 24/7, no pay increase, no recognition for a job well done, having to worry about my own taxes, and just everything that goes along with it, like the lying and back-stabbing from managers *** and owners ***, and having to deal with QA who says they follow BOS, but then makes things up as they go. Its an 8 to 5 job ...

My CCM finally called and left a message saying I hadn't been logging on and she would have to process termination if I didn't get in touch with her. "A phone call would be nice," I think is how she worded it. I didn't call her back. I just sent her an email and told her to go right ahead and process termination, that I didn't call because I didn't feel that the Q deserved the courtesy of a call when they treat their MTs like trash. So I am officially free. ...

I was actually reduced to tears today with the bullying and threats from people of various departments. Support acts as though we are stupid and below their level and the shipping department basically called me a liar, but in a nice way after their nastiness. Due to my age, it will be hard finding a job but at this point, I will sweep floors rather than put up with those with big heads because of a meaningless title. Then again, on second thought.....I am not leaving without a ...

After months of having to change it, ASR is finally putting in palpation when the dictator says palpitation, as in tender to palpitation. It's about time. ...

I am finally tired of all the hoops you have to jump through to get a job only to find out your PC is incompatible anyway. Plus when you are hired and asked if they can overnight the new-hire paperwork since you do not have a printer and they act like I am crazy for asking (after saying they could overnight it). I am just so tired of it. I just have to find something else..... ...

The nasty Q and I have finally parted ways!!!! Looking forward to better opportunities than this horrible job!!!! ...

I'm beyond thrilled! I have a good lead on a non-MT job. I have been promised multiple things and they have never happened. No raise in many years. Someone tell me again, what are the benefits of being an IC when you have to do the work of so many other people PLUS transcribe? It's ridiculous. Years ago, when I didn't have to do the work of others plus mine, I made SO much more money. ...

Well it took me 2 months to get a job with the 1 company that I applied for and I am finally out of M*Modal and could not be any :) about it. Good luck to all of you that are staying, I hope that things will get better for you guys, I really do. ...

It's a rather sad day, but a long time coming. After 24 years as an IC with a damn good client, making really good $ and having a respectable job, today I gave notice. I used to write my own ticket as a small MTSO without any question. Sadly, the bottom-line paper pushers finally got their way with installing VR and the writing was on the wall. I gave it a shot, I trained in editing. I stayed on during the transition, taking a pay cut to less than .3cpl because ...

I've been putting in applications for a few months and finally yesterday I got an interview. It was for a release of information job. I don't think I did very well. "Tell me about your strengths." "Tell me about your weaknesses." "Tell me about a situation you handled well on your job." But at least I got an interview. ...

I am so excited. I applied for a local position in a clinic and was hired! I originally was applying for a receptionist position but they bumped up the pay if I would get my recertification for MA. When I first starting thinking about leaving this profession, I was anxious about having to "be in the real world" again. But after sitting with no work, day after day, my wants in life finally outweighed my anxiousness on leaving MT/my house. I wish everyone here, those who are staying and those wh ...

Finally just quit with no notice for the first time in my life. Just fed up. Emailed supervisor a week-and-a-half ago, no response, emailed again and asked for confirmation, no response, and emailed HR, no response. Still getting blanket emails. Getting a small check this Friday but noticed vacation not paid out. Anyone else ever experience this? Any suggestions? Can't even quit. ...

Usually plenty of work but all last week struggling for jobs. My TSM is pretty straight up. If these accounts are truly gone and not coming back, I am pretty sure he won't string us along. ...
